Jeremy Salyer suggested the request be forwarded to WVCA Watershed Office for review. INVOICE: PVCD received an invoice in the amount of $92,459.84 from CEC for engineering services completed on dams within the District. A copy has been forwarded to WVCA, Gene Saurborn for review and payment authorization. Jeremy Salyer indicated that WVCA was in the process of reviewing the invoice and will advise the District regarding payment. LUNICE CREEK PUMP HOUSE: Action was taken at June meeting for additional research on this issue – o&m agreement is vague regarding sponsor responsibility - and provide a written response to the City of Petersburg regarding the lack of funding to assist with the roof repair. Jeremy will discuss with Ed Martin. SOUTH BRANCH SUBWATERSHED PROJECT: The District received a request from NRCS office in Morgantown about closing out the South Branch Sub Watershed Project – what is PVCD feeling on closure of the project. The proposed project included the construction of 7 dams (4 in Pendleton County, WV and 3 in Virginia). No dams were constructed and action was taken in the 1970s to place the project in an inactive status. No activity has taken place since that time. Records indicate that property was purchased in Pendleton County – need to confirm. Discussion was held on the issue. Charlotte Hoover offered to conduct research on the issue at the Pendleton County courthouse and report back to the Board in August. All in agreement for Charlotte to complete the research and report back. SOUTH FORK MOOREFIELD O&M CONTRACT: John Hicks and Jeremy Salyer discussed the issue with the South Fork Moorefield OMR Contract. They reviewed the correspondence between the WVCA Contracting Division and contractor’s legal counsel. The contractor indicated his plan to use a skid steer to mow the dams under the contract. WVCA personnel advised the contractor that the use of a skid steer was not permitted due to the following: 1. Unapproved piece of equipment (per contract) 2. Safety issues – mowing horizontally and 3. Could cause damage to the structure due to the tracks and turning. Ed Martin also participated in the conversation by telephone. The contractor was notified in writing of the requirement of the slope mower in order to complete the contract and given 2 weeks to respond. His legal counsel sent a letter – copy attached. OSHA documents regarding operation of skid steers on slopes was also discussed – copy attached. Following the discussion, a motion was made by J.W. See to cancel the South Fork Moorefield OMR Contract – provide written notice to JR Landscaping and include the three reasons listed above for cancellation and also approve rebidding the contract. Motion seconded by John Hicks. Motion carried - unanimously. LOST RIVER SITE #27: Discussion was also heard regarding the status of the gate post replacement on Lost River Site #27. Ed Martin will provide the District with a cost estimate to replace the post – not to exceed $300. He will include the estimate on the O&M work order for Lost River Site #27. Ron Miller will work with the District crew and oversee the replacement of the gate post. O&M FUNDS: Brief discussion on O&M funds – all combined in the o&m accounts with state match funds. Can be confusing to show how local sponsor funds & state match funds are spent. Will need to discuss / address in the future. SOUTH FORK SITE# 12: Charlotte Hoover reported that Paul Clayton contacted her regarding his cattle being let out during a recent inspection / job showing on his dam. WVCA staff did conduct the job showing and not close the gate afterwards. Mr. Clayton was not happy – took much time and manpower to round up the cattle and return to correct fields – damage to neighbors yards. The Board was in agreement that ALL gates need to be closed when accessing the dams – whether cattle are present or not. Discussion on an apology to Mr. Clayton – agreed to send a letter. PATTERSON CREEK SITE #41: Question was raised regarding the installation of fence on PC Site #41 – has this issue been addressed? Mike Ketterman was on site and agreed to discuss with landowner. Jeremy offered to check with Mike Ketterman to make sure issue has been resolved.

  • Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy
    Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy Introduction Brook Trout symbolize healthy waters because they rely on clean, cold stream habitat and are sensitive to rising stream temperatures, thereby serving as an aquatic version of a “canary in a coal mine”. Brook Trout are also highly prized by recreational anglers and have been designated as the state fish in many eastern states. They are an essential part of the headwater stream ecosystem, an important part of the upper watershed’s natural heritage and a valuable recreational resource. Land trusts in West Virginia, New York and Virginia have found that the possibility of restoring Brook Trout to local streams can act as a motivator for private landowners to take conservation actions, whether it is installing a fence that will exclude livestock from a waterway or putting their land under a conservation easement. The decline of Brook Trout serves as a warning about the health of local waterways and the lands draining to them. More than a century of declining Brook Trout populations has led to lost economic revenue and recreational fishing opportunities in the Bay’s headwaters. Chesapeake Bay Management Strategy: Brook Trout March 16, 2015 - DRAFT I. Goal, Outcome and Baseline This management strategy identifies approaches for achieving the following goal and outcome: Vital Habitats Goal: Restore, enhance and protect a network of land and water habitats to support fish and wildlife, and to afford other public benefits, including water quality, recreational uses and scenic value across the watershed. Brook Trout Outcome: Restore and sustain naturally reproducing Brook Trout populations in Chesapeake Bay headwater streams, with an eight percent increase in occupied habitat by 2025.

  • Fishing Regulations JANUARY - DECEMBER 2004
    WEST VIRGINIA Fishing Regulations JANUARY - DECEMBER 2004 West Virginia Division of Natural Resources D I Investment in a Legacy --------------------------- S West Virginia’s anglers enjoy a rich sportfishing legacy and conservation ethic that is maintained T through their commitment to our state’s fishery resources. Recognizing this commitment, the R Division of Natural Resources endeavors to provide a variety of quality fishing opportunities to meet I increasing demands, while also conserving and protecting the state’s valuable aquatic resources. One way that DNR fulfills this part of its mission is through its fish hatchery programs. Many anglers are C aware of the successful trout stocking program and the seven coldwater hatcheries that support this T important fishery in West Virginia. The warmwater hatchery program, although a little less well known, is still very significant to West Virginia anglers. O West Virginia’s warmwater hatchery program has been instrumental in providing fishing opportunities F to anglers for more than 60 years. For most of that time, the Palestine State Fish Hatchery was the state’s primary facility dedicated to the production of warmwater fish. Millions of walleye, muskellunge, channel catfish, hybrid striped bass, saugeye, tiger musky, and largemouth F and smallmouth bass have been raised over the years at Palestine and stocked into streams, rivers, and lakes across the state. I A recent addition to the DNR’s warmwater hatchery program is the Apple Grove State Fish Hatchery in Mason County. Construction of the C hatchery was completed in 2003. It was a joint project of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the DNR as part of a mitigation agreement E for the modernization of the Robert C.

WALCOTT, Director United States Geological Survey. 3 A GAZETTEER OF WEST VIRGINIA. HENRY GANNETT. DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE. The State of West Virginia was cut off from Virginia during the civil war and was admitted to the Union on June 19, 1863. As orig­ inally constituted it consisted of 48 counties; subsequently, in 1866, it was enlarged by the addition -of two counties, Berkeley and Jeffer­ son, which were also detached from Virginia. The boundaries of the State are in the highest degree irregular. Starting at Potomac River at Harpers Ferry,' the line follows the south bank of the Potomac to the Fairfax Stone, which was set to mark the headwaters of the North Branch of Potomac River; from this stone the line runs due north to Mason and Dixon's line, i. e., the southern boundary of Pennsylvania; thence it follows this line west to the southwest corner of that State, in approximate latitude 39° 43i' and longitude 80° 31', and from that corner north along the western boundary of Pennsylvania until the line intersects Ohio River; from this point the boundary runs southwest down the Ohio, on the northwestern bank, to the mouth of Big Sandy River.

Project Title: Eastern Panhandle Brook Trout Reintroduction (WV) Project Period 10/31/2009 - 12/31/2011 Award Amount $22,309.72 Matching Contributions $22,163.00 Project Location Description (from Proposal) Projects are located in both Districts 1 and 2 in WV. Project Summary (from Proposal) Work with public and private partners to restore water quality and aquatic habitat in four headwater streams of the Cacapon River. Project will install livestock exclusion fencing, establish riparian buffers, and perform water quality monitoring to support the goal of reintroducing eastern brook trout to historical coldwater streams in Hampshire and Hardy Counties, West Virginia. Summary of Accomplishments This Project: a) Restored native vegetation along 3,100 linear feet of streams with an average buffer width of 35 feet (approximately 5 acres); b) Engaged four landowners and 102 volunteers in tree and shrub plantings, educational activities, water quality monitoring, and conservation planning; c) Developed detailed temperature profiles of five streams to and a water quality “snapshot” of Meadow Branch; and d) Piqued WVDNR interest in salmonid restoration or reintroduction in three streams. Lessons Learned Lessons learned include: a) Filling vacancies quickly and planning for project coverage during transition can mitigate the loss of key teammates; b) Tighter oversight of volunteer monitors and interns and regular team meetings would yield more consistent data collection and reporting; c) It is ambitious to make reintroduction of brook trout to previously unstudied streams a project period outcome; d) Brook trout continue to be a valuable focus for landowner outreach (i.e.
